This statement by Friends of the Earth International argues that achieving food sovereignty requires an organized, anti-capitalist, and anti-patriarchal resistance against fascism and the 'post-truth' narratives of the agro-industry. It advocates for the adoption of agroecology and the creation of an international anti-fascist front to protect the rights of peasants, indigenous peoples, and rural workers.

  • The document defines fascism as a totalizing ideology characterized by racism, xenophobia, misogyny, and anti-democratic practices, including 'nécropolitique' in Europe, where a ruling minority decides who must die to support its project. Resistance to fascism is presented as a tactical necessity that requires the organized unity of diverse peoples.
  • The agro-industry is accused of using 'post-truth'—the deliberate distortion of reality—to maintain control over the global food system. While the World Economic Forum and the FAO have acknowledged the failure of the industrial model, the document claims the FAO's proposed 'climate-smart agriculture' is a false alternative that excludes people from the countryside and ignores agroecology.
  • Food sovereignty is described as an anti-capitalist and anti-patriarchal project led by peasants, indigenous peoples, family farmers, artisanal fishers, and rural and urban workers. It aims for autonomy, solidarity, and social, political, environmental, and gender justice.
  • Cuba is cited as a successful example of reinventing food production through agroecology, public policies, and 'farmer-to-farmer' methodology following the crisis of the socialist bloc and the US blockade.
  • To counter fascist advances and the influence of dominant media, the document calls for the convergence of peoples, technological sovereignty, and the establishment of an international anti-fascist front, as proposed by Víctor Báez of the Confédération syndicale des travailleurs et travailleuses des Amériques (CSA).
